I’m hungry…and hungry a lot lately. I’ve been diagnosed with something called Candida. It’s basically yeast in the gut. So, I’m starving it out by not feeding it carbs, sugar, vinegar, or alcohol.
…and it’s not just the yeast that is starving.
I’ve been on it since May 1 and it’s been hard. In the last week I’ve been offered cheesecake 4 times, ice cream twice, and other cakes and pies a couple of times.
Man this is rough.
Man, I’m just too busy. Too busy to sleep. Too busy to blog (gasp!). Too busy to even go see Star Wars III! I had hoped to go tonight, but alas. I’m stuck watching Bo beat out Carrie. If you know what that means, you’re as bad as I am.
Then I read Stu’s Rants: Anakin’s Rest, which is a great post on resting. Only trouble is that he says:
Rest is awaking from a nap to enjoy a quiet walk in the cool of the day.
Bummer. There isn’t a “cool of the day” in Orlando.
No wonder I’m so busy…and tired!
Looks like my blogging Uncle wants a little Google action on the word triperspectival! That’s okay though. He earns it by preaching A Triperspectival Sermon.
At least I got some props in it! 
Okay Star Trek geeks, this is for you. I’m not a huge Trekkie, but I’ve watched a good portion of it all. I’m a Star Wars fan at heart. I mean, after all, Star Wars is a documentary (it happened a long time ago) where Star Trek is all fantasy (being about the future and all).
But I digress…(or have I already?)
Over the weekend during some down time I found an online video series from NOVA called The Elegant Universe. They are really well done. They talk about how we have the theory of relativity to explain how large objects interact (like in space) and we have quantum mechanical theories to explain how thing work on the sub-atomic level, but no “Theory of Everything” to explain it all.
For the past 20 or so years many have been looking into something called “String Theory”. I don’t want to attempt to explain it. Just watch the videos. It’s interesting…though I can’t say I’m buying it all yet.
Oh, if you want to watch just one segment to get a good overview (and see about worm holes), watch the one called The Wild West of Physics from Hour 3.
I’m not geeky and all (sorta), but this is actually entertaining. Go check it out and see what you think. They even get into the Big Bang Theory and some of the problems it has and how String Theory is trying to solve those problems.
Interesting stuff.
I know you know about the funeral Friday morning and the emotions that came with it (if you haven’t read the comments and other blog posts created as a result, you should).
That evening though we went to a good friend’s graduation from seminar (RTS in Orlando). Maybe she’ll blog about it and I’ll link to it (ahem!)
Anyway, it was great to see her graduate…though I have to say her father seemed happier than we were!
Then yesterday was cutting the grass, napping, then back out for a surprise birthday party for another friend. Today visiting a different church with our Vancouver guests and a drop-in this afternoon for Karin’s graduation (side note: when running spell check in Blogger, it didn’t know the word “Karin’s”. It suggested “garnish”. I won’t get to philosophical on how Karin’s stuff this weekend was like garnish…that’d be too cheesy, eh? (that’s for my Vancouver friends)).
Not the most restful weekend as we go into days of solid meetings again. I feel like all I do are meetings now. They’ll slack off soon enough to be sure.
It’s been a crazy and strange emotional weekend.
And that’s why I haven’t seen Star Wars III yet. I think Tuesday night will finally be the night!
Today is a strange day for me. This morning we went to funeral and tonight we go to a graduation.
Makes for weird emotions.
The funeral was for a girl we didn’t know, but I feel like I do know her. She’s the step-daughter of a co-worker. She was 18. She’s been on mission trips, had a lot of friends who really loved her, and a family that is in a lot of pain.
Nicole had been driving for 3 weeks. She didn’t have on her seat belt Saturday. She met Jesus face to face moments after being thrown from her car as it rolled down the highway at 70+ mph.
It’s tough to see teens have to weep, wail, mourn, and grieve like that. It’s tough to see a mother lean into a coffin to kiss her daughter for the last time.
Everyone received a card about Nicole. In part it says:
Eight Things Nicole Knew About Life
1. Life was created by God.
2. Everyone has a purpose to be here.
3. Live can come so fast but then it can go so fast.
4. Life cannot be practiced.
5. Every day is different.
6. Life is a gift to be cherished.
7. Everyone has a crush on at least one person in their life.
8. Everyone has an opinion on everything.
Though I didn’t know her, I’m feeling distracted. 18. No seat belt. Saved. Tears. It’s tough.
Google hasn’t named it yet, but they announced today on the Google Blog that they are offering a customizable homepage similar to myYahoo, though not even close to as good…yet.
Though it’s not off to a fast start, it is the beginning of what I think might become another big and popular customized portal. I’ll be watching this. It’ll be interesting.
Look ya’ll! Ol’ Andy’s back! Coming back the same day the Sith take revenge. Coincidence?
Look at his break from his blog he likes to call bloggedy blog:
:: Thursday, November 04, 2004 ::

Yes, friends and neighbors, I’m back. And what a bee-you-ti-ful day in the blogosphere it is, a great day to restart the old bloggedy blog.I’ll give you a day or so to get over the shock.

Welcome back, Andrew!
Man, this is geeky. But it makes for some fun reading if you’re a Star Wars fan!
